So real blogging income isn’t usually coming from Adsense or other pay-per-click (PPC) advertising.
The best source of income for most new bloggers is going to be from affiliates. Affiliates are just like PPC advertising but you only get paid if a visitor clicks through the ad and makes a purchase.
The upside is that affiliates pay much more per sale, upwards of $150 on each sale.
I made $462 the first money I had affiliates on my blogs and was making over $1,000 by the fourth month. That wasn’t on huge waves of blog traffic either. My two blogs at the time were seeing less than 20,000 page views a month.Now I make an average of $2,000 a month and about $0.047 per page view ($47 RPM) though I’ve recently added a couple of affiliates that are doing really well.
You will want to join a few different affiliate networks to get access to all the affiliates that will work for your blog. You can sign up for as many affiliate programs as you like but most bloggers find that they make most of their money on just a few that really fit with the blog topic and readers.
Most likely these standout affiliates will be products or services that you use and that serve a special need for your readers. Of the $23,700 I’ve made on 35 affiliates in two years, most of that (90%) came from just seven affiliates.
